What shops for clothes for a very petitie early teen girl

I am looking for quality clothes for a very petite 12 / 13 year old girl. Casual stuff and smart stuff. Boden stuff is too babyish. She only likes one thing on Abercrombie & Fitch. She is too small for any of the Hollister stuff is a bit too casual and she's probably too small for their smallest size.

Where can I get good quality clothing that will fit her, but not make her looks like a 5 year old?

Top Shop go down to a 4 and H & M do a 6. Try especially their Divided range for younger, simpler styles.H & M and New Look also have teen ranges for about 9-10 to 14-15.Brandy Melville does some very tiny clothes (everything is one size = small!) if you’re near London. Their own shop is in Neal St Covent Garden and the Top Shop @ Oxf Circus has a concession. Don’t know if they’re elsewhere in the UK but my DD loves them.

My DD is a uk 2-4. Best fit we’ve found (for clothes that don’t make her feel like child - she’s 17!) are Miss Selfridge petite section and ASOS petites. Both on line as the shops near us don’t have a great range in store.

My DD is tall but slim , she likes some of the Uniqlo (they do an XS which IIRC is size 4)She has shorts, joggers, the built in support vest tops, a down filled coat.The jumpers/trousers are 'basics' rather than fashion.
